The past 3 years VPI has been focusing mainly on
new/entry level audiophiles and getting them to embrace vinyl for the
first time. With the Prime we wanted to get back to our roots and focus
on the existing audience with a table that offers quality hi-end sound
while taking advantage of our improvements in technology. Also, it was
important to show the industry that we will still be making new
turntable and designs whether Harry is in the factory or poolside! The
Prime is Mat Weisfeld's first solo design on a table with Harry's
approval as well as input from the rest of the VPI staff. The shape of
the Prime is meant to have a curvier and sexy look compared to the
"classic" look of our tables over the past 10 years. At same time
having the footprint to accommodate the space needed for a 10 inch 3D
arm. We were able to get the price lowerfor the 3D arm because of our
improved technology and increased volume in printing and supply.
